Classification of holographic fringe patterns inherent in through hole drilling in residual stress field

Comparative analysis of actual fringe patterns, which are induced by combined implementing the hole drilling method and reflection hologram interferometry for residual stresses determination, is presented. Involved considerations are related to plane thin-walled structural elements. A set of interferograms of perfect (ideal) form is selected proceeding from one-side measurements. A base for recognising each specific ideal configuration is a fine coincidence between actual interferograms and analogous reference fringe patterns constructed for the same stress state. Perfect (ideal) both actual and reference fringe patterns are defined as a response of pure membrane 2D stress field on through hole drilling between exposures. Main principles of creating the regular catalogue of reference fringe patterns inherent in through hole drilling in thin-walled components are formulated. Emphasis is made on a careful collecting and classifying actual interferograms with clear indications of bending stress presence in total residual stress field. Evidences needed for a reliable classification of the type of residual stresses field of interest are established and verified. A response of superimposed residual stress field, which consists of both membrane and bending components, is characterised by various deviations of each specific fringe pattern from an ideal form. More deep analysis of fringe patterns related to superimposed residual stress field is based on specially designed technique. The main essence of the approach developed is simultaneous measurements of through hole distortions in two principal strain directions on opposite sides of thin plane specimen. These sides are faces of the drill entrance and exit. Sophisticated optical set-up that is capable of obtaining high-quality fringe patterns in the course of two-side measurements is developed and implemented. Typical set of fringe patterns obtained for single probe hole on opposite specimen faces is presented.     

Residual stresses deriving from holographic interferometry data on a base of inverse problem solution

A transition model, which is capable of obtaining both membrane and bending residual stress components from initial experimental information, is developed for thin-walled plane structures. The determination of residual stresses is based on the combined implementing of the hole-drilling method and reflection hologram interferometry. Required input data are obtained by simultaneous measurements on through hole distortions in two principal strain directions on opposite sides of thin plane specimen. These sides are faces of the drill entrance and exit. Superimposed residual stresses field, which consists of both membrane and bending components, is a reason for the various deviations of each specific fringe pattern from an ideal form. This fact is a clear experimental indication of the bending stress contribution in a total stress field. Two ways of decomposition of superimposed residual stresses field are proposed and analysed in detail. Emphasis is laid on a careful quantitative formulation of the inverse problem needed for an accurate deriving both membrane and bending residual stress components. It is shown that an availability of two-side initial data is both an essential and necessary condition of such a formulation. Detailed analysis of an accuracy of the results obtained is performed. This analysis is based on a wide set of both actual interferograms and analogous reference fringe patterns related to superimposed residual stress field under study. Comparing residual stress values obtained proceeding from one-side and two-side data are presented for different types of superimposed field of interest.     

Combined implementing the hole-drilling method and reflection hologram interferometry for residual stresses determination in cylindrical shells and tubes

Main features inherent in simplified approach to residual stresses determination in cylindrical shells and tubes, external diameter of which is not less than 60 mm, by combing the hole-drilling method and reflection hologram interferometry are discussed in detail. Initial experimental information in a form of hole diameter increments in principal stress directions is derived from high-quality reflection holograms recorded near cylindrical objects of intermediate curvature value. Converting measured parameters into required stress values is based on the transition model that corresponds to plane stress conditions of pure membrane type. The technique developed is capable of determining residual stress component values within 5% accuracy in an absence of stress gradients over the probe hole diameter when a type of residual stress field corresponds to the transition model adopted. The accuracy analysis involved is based on matrix formulation of conventionally direct problem and an assumption on a pure membrane character of residual stress field under study for thin-walled shell. Required error estimations in a case of inspecting thick-walled cylindrical tube are obtained by combining the above-mentioned approach and an analogy of reconstructed fringe patterns with actual and artificial interferograms, which follow from drilling blind hole of the same geometrical parameters in thick-walled plates. Experimental verification of the developed approach is founded upon a determination of actual stresses in thin-walled cylindrical shell and obtaining residual stress distributions at the proximity of welded joint in thick-walled cylindrical tube.     

Phase difference determination by fringe pattern matching

A method of phase difference determination in interferometry is presented. In this method, the phase difference between two interferograms is determined by fringe pattern matching with subpixel accuracy. The signal-to-noise ratio is significantly improved due to the region-based fringe pattern matching and its effect of averaging noise. The experiment shows that this method is useful for the determination of phase difference between two equi-spaced fringe patterns, and it has the advantages of high precision of measurement and high resistance to noise.     

Determination of residual stresses using hole drilling and digital speckle pattern interferometry with automated data analysis

A digital speckle pattern interferometry and hole drilling combined system is developed to determine the magnitude of the residual stress in a aluminum thin plate subjected to an uniform uniaxial tensile load. Performing automated fringe analysis, the optical data contained in the speckle interferograms are quickly converted into values of residual stress. The evaluation is carried out through the measurement of the in-plane displacement field generated by the introduction of the small hole. The displacement field is determined from the calculation of the optical phase distribution by means of a phase shifting method. The magnitude of the residual stress is finally evaluated through a least-squares calculation and compared with the stress value applied to the specimen.

The holographic-hole drilling method for residual stress determination

Holographic-hole drilling is a method developed for the rapid determination of residual stresses from an optical interference fringe pattern. A small diameter blind hole is drilled into a part containing residual stresses, and the displacements caused by localized stress relief are registered by real-time holographic interferometry. The resulting fringe pattern is evaluated to calculate residual stresses, using a simple ‘fringe counting’ method described here. Results of applying the method in laboratory tests to a variety of uniform biaxial states-of-stress from equibiaxial compression to pure shear are shown. Two sample applications of the method, the evaluation of residual stresses at a cold-worked hole and at a weld bead, are also given. Extensions of the method to evaluate stresses non-uniform in depth and/or along the surface are discussed.     

Dual hologram interferometry

This report describes dual hologram interferometry, a new electro-optic technique used to calculate two-dimensional density distributions from measurable changes in index of refraction. Using this technique, two scenes recorded at different times are stored in separate holograms. One hologram contains reference data depicting the subject in an undisturbed state and the other hologram describes the same subject in a test or disturbed condition. Desired interference patterns are obtained by super-imposing the two separate scenes which are simultaneously reconstructed from each hologram. Specific interferograms, infinite fringe and various finite fringe patterns, are obtained by carefully regulating the optical attitude between the holograms and the reference beam during reconstruction of the scenes. In this project, dual hologram interferometry is used to describe quantitatively free convection from a uniformly heated right circular cylinder. Temperature distributions through the boundary layer and local heat transfer coefficients are determined at different azimuth positions. The results are compared both to experimental data obtained from another holographic technique and to a theoretical prediction of this specific test. This investigation shows that dual hologram interferometry accurately records changes in index of refraction which means the technique can be used to accurately measure experimental fluid flow data.     

Effect of aberrations in formation of holographic lateral shear interferograms under high measurement sensitivity

Analysis of the effect of aberrations of a system for recording and optical processing of holograms, as well as of inhomogeneities in hologram bases, on fringe distortion is performed for different methods of holographic shearing interferometry. Different dependences of the degree of fringe distortion in lateral shear interferograms on the measurement sensitivity are revealed. A method of excluding aberrations in formation of shear interferograms is proposed for the cases of single-and double-exposure holograms. Experimental results are reported.     

Nanoscale deformation measurement by using the hybrid method of gray-level and holographic interferometry

This study extends the use of holographic interferometry to measure the nanoscale out-of-plane displacement with high surface resolution. It is noted that if the deformation is less than half of the optical wavelength, it is hard to find an obvious fringe pattern. Under such a situation, in general, the phase shift method is used. However, it needs to take more than 3 images for phase shifting and phase reconstruction In this paper, a more simple hybrid method of gray-level and holographic interferometry is used to extract fringe skeletons, in which it just needs to take one or two images for the normal deformation measurement directly, even if there exists no obvious fringe pattern. The displacement field with high surface resolution can also be obtained. The proposed method yielded a theoretical precision of 0.15 nm for out-of-plane displacement with a monochromatic CCD camera of 10-bit gray scale (1024 gray scales) sensitivity and microscale surface resolution for millimeter scale object with 640×480 pixels image resolution by an He–Ne LASER (632.8 nm wavelength) light source. The gray-level method is proposed to calculate the non-obvious interferometry fringe by traditional holographic interferometry hologram, and the result showed that this method works for this purpose.     

Measurement of dynamic crack tip displacement field by speckle photography and interferometry

Speckle interferometry has been used to measure the transient displacement field around a crack due to stress wave loading. Double exposure interferograms are recorded with a pulsed ruby laser, and correlation fringes formed by spatial filtering of the developed film. A new technique is presented for reducing the noise level in spatially filtered speckle interferograms. Independent fringe patterns, obtained from one interferogram but with the filtering aperture sampling different regions of the Fourier transform plane, are digitised by a CCD camera and combined numerically. It is demonstrated that accurate analysis of fringe patterns by the Fourier transform method can be carried out, even if no carrier fringes are present. The measurements are compared with those obtained by speckle photography. Least-squares fitting of the theoretical displacement field is used to calculate the stress intensity factor at the crack tip as a function of time.     

Measurement of properties of silver telluride thin films using holography

Holography is an interferometric method of recording the light waves diffracted by a subject illuminated with coherent light. Holographic interferometry (H.I.) is one of the most important applications of holography. It is concerned with the formation and interpretation of fringe patterns, which appears when a wave generated at some earlier time and stored in a hologram is later reconstructed by interfering with comparison wave. We report a technique, which uses double exposure holographic interferometry together with simple mathematical interpretation, which allow immediate finding of stress and thickness of thin film. We tested the same for different normalities of solutions. It was further noticed that the fringe spacing changes with solution concentration as well as time of deposition. The thin films are prepared using electrodeposition technique. It’s structural, morphological and optical study carried out by XRD, SEM, and UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer.     

Determination of residual stress by use of phase shifting moiré interferometry and hole-drilling method

A phase-shifting moiré interferometry and hole-drilling combined system was developed to determine residual stresses. The relationship between the 2D displacement data of three points around the drilled hole and the residual stresses relieved by hole-drilling was established. The experimental setup consisted of a four-beam moiré interferometer and a computer-controlled hole-drilling system. Two phase shifters controlled by computer were fixed in two of the four optic paths to directly get the displacement data. With special residual stresses calculation software, the phase distributions of the u and v field obtained by moiré interferometry were quickly converted into values of residual stresses. To analyze the accuracy of this experimental system, an aluminum specimen with a blind hole in the center was real-time tensioned in this system. The displacement field obtained by phase shifting moiré interferometry was compared with the finite element method solution. Good agreement was found with respect to each other. As an application, the in-depth residual stresses of a shot-peened aluminum plate were measured by this method, and possible error sources were discussed.     

Real-time color holographic interferometry devoted to 2D unsteady wake flows

A new optical technique based on real time holographic interferometry in true colors has been implemented around the transonic wind tunnel of the ONERA-Lille center to analyze 2D unsteady wake flows. Tests realized in color interferometry, real time and double exposure, use simultaneously three wavelengths of a continuous waves laser (argon and krypton mixed) and holograms are recorded on silver-halide single-layer panchromatic Slavich PFG03c plates. The very principle of real-time true color holographic interferometry uses three primary wavelengths (red, green and blue) to record, under no-flow conditions, the interference among the three measurement beams and the three reference beams simultaneously on a single reference hologram. After the holographic plate is developed, it is placed on the test setup again in the position it occupied during exposure and the hologram is illuminated again by the three reference beams and three measurement beams. A flat, uniform color can then be observed behind the hologram. So a horizontal, vertical, or even circular fringe pattern can be formed and the achromatic central fringe can be made out very clearly. The single color is used to determine the path difference zero on the interferograms. The flow studied was the unsteady flow downstream of a cylinder placed crosswise in the test section. A sequence of hundred interferograms was recorded on the flow around the cylinder at Mach 0.37. The vortex formation and dissipation phases can be seen very clearly, along with the fringe beat to either side of the cylinder.     

Evaluation of the curvature of an object by Talbot interferometry

In this study a modified method of Talbot interferometry is developed to evaluate the curvature of an object. The tilt angle of moiré fringe formed by two gratings is related to the wavelength, the grating periods, the angle between these two gratings, and the object curvature. Therefore, substituting the known experimental parameters into a special derived equation the object curvature can be evaluated. In order to show the validity of this method, stainless steel balls with curvatures of 1.326 and 1.261 mm⁻¹ were measured. The measurement resolution of curvature was about 3.729 × 10⁻³ mm⁻¹. It is shown that this method is suitable for both transmission and opaque objects with high accuracy.     

Determination of residual stresses within plasma spray coating using Moiré interferometry method

In this paper, residual stresses of the Ni-Cr-B-Si coatings prepared by supersonic plasma spray processing were measured by moiré interferometry and X-ray diffraction method. Moiré interferometry method was used in measuring the distribution of residual stresses of the Ni-Cr-B-Si coatings alongside the specimen thickness direction, then the distribution of residual stresses both in the substrate and the coating was also analyzed. Experimental results showed that residual stresses in the coating and the substrate are tensile and compressive separately; residual stresses of the coating are diminished with the increase of the distance from the coating surface and almost zero at the coating-substrate interface; the maximum of compressive residual stresses of the substrate are present to the vicinity of the coating-substrate interface. It could be concluded that residual stresses in the specimen would result from the dismatch of thermophysical properties between the coating and substrate during the spray process, and the distribution of residual stresses of the substrate would be influenced by the sandblasting prior to spraying.
